I can't get enough basil! How about you? Are you extreme over spices?

Hello beauty queen. I love my food spicy as well as sweet. I think that I am adjustable kind of person as far as food is concerned. I used to live in a place where the food is very hot, but now I live and work in a place where people love to add some white sugar while cooking the food. hehe.

Love me some pepper...can't get enough, as it stands I don't think any of the peppers I have tried thus far is hot. jalepeno, cayenne none of them are hot enough for me...and yes I got taste buds I just like my mouth burning for some reason.

I am back on ground black peppercorns although I do love basil and oregano and so many others! lol I probably don't use quite as much as you seem to but I am certainly not far behind! xxx

I know what you mean about basil. I grow my own every year. fresh basil is best. try making a fresh pesto,then marinate a good steak with it overnite and throw it on the grill. It is terrific!

I love basil too! I'm trying to do a fresh herb garden so I don't have to buy it all the time because it's expensive! But I do absolutely love basil, cilantro, parsley ... basically all the greens!

I'm also a basil freak! When I lived in Oregon,I made alot of pasta with Pesto sauce on top. I had a medium sized garden, in the spring I prused thru the seed catologs an found 8 different types of basils, I ordered 1 pack of each. Wow that opened my eyes to the differnt tastes of basils and the types of pesto sauces that you can make,what a wonderful summer that was!!!! tdemex

I LOVE basil. One summer I grew some in my garden and then I made pesto when I harvested it. It was awesome on pasta. I got through stages with herbs. For a while I used a lot of oregano, then later basil, now I am using thyme in everything. I have to have garlic (preferably minced fresh by me). I use salt and pepper in moderation. I also like to use sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg in unusual places, like sauces, meatballs, meatloaves, etc.

I Love spices. Any type of spices. Basil combined with garlic is one of my favorites, Oh and add some red pepper flakes to that and it taste really good on pasta. My other favorite is dill. I like it with eggs and vegetables.

Garlic. I love that stuff so much I use it on everything pretty much. And season salt is my other one I use all the time.

I love garlic and I put it on everything, I also love oregano and cilentro. I do not go as far as putting them on other stuff. I mean I never heard of oregano or garlic ice cream. I am not extreme as I believe in moderation in all things. But I guess you did want something for a discussion. Trouble is someone is going to just give you a one or two word answer for this and not go into detail. It is a crying shame, I wanted something interesting.

Hello beautyqueen26. My current favorite spice/herb is cilantro. I make homemade guacamole alot which calls for fresh cilantro and I make a black beans and yellow rice dish that has fresh chopped cilantro over the top of it. Plus, we like a fresh avocado, tomato, and onion salad that also has cilantro. I love that herb! I admit that basil is also a favorite and I use that for my tomato, mozzarella and basil salad and white bean and sausage soup. It is delicious also, I agree with you that fresh basil is truly fantastic. Happy cooking. PearlGrace

I love basil. Here is an idea for you to try. My mom suggested it to me last summer when I had a ton of fresh basil. Scrambled eggs with fresh chopped basil and some fresh grated Parmasean cheese. YUM!

I love 'em all but TARRAGON is the absolute best! Yum! That's probably why it's so expensive! Or the fact that it can't be grown from seed. Tarragon is good in meats, vegetables and even desserts! Yum!

The one thing I have with most meals is chili. Either ground up or fresh depending on what I am having.

Yes, I also love basil, especially for Italian dishes like pasta, or anything that has tomato. But another spice that I seem to be using a lot lately is thyme, as my kids love it with potatoes and I must admit that it goes well!

If you love basil then I'm sure you love pesto! Yumm! Just the thought of it makes me drool already. I also love basil and I put it on most of my foods. I wish you were near and I could give you a box of basil to feast on. I know how aromatic they are. I also love celery so much I want to eat a salad of it. Just celery, a litle tomato and onion and olive oil. Oh, yumm!

well i love basil too.i put it in pasta, in bread with butter and garlic, in shrimps, almost in everything. hahaha. my boyfriend does have planted basil on their garden too. so we can have lots of basils anytime we want.

I like pepper,because there is one more reason for that,I am suffering with 'synus',for which hot and spicy is preferd.I do like all the spices equally,and proportionatly.I donot use any spice even salt also limited.

Really, you love basil that much? Are you from India?Well, I like the taste and aroma of basil but I don't like eating the leaves itself. Whenever I order or cook food with basil, I put the leaves at my plate's edge totally neglect it. Of all the spices though, I like eating garlic and onion, beneficial for our health too!

As a typical university overseas student, I used to live on a life without much spice. The most frequently used seasoning stuffs in my cooking is salt+soysauce T_T. Sad.
